He Saw the Mine. Dakota Bell.

Five years ago 8 man named Hob son, living in small Ohio town, in- vested heavily in Black Hills mining stock. He paid the monthly assess ments regularly for three years. When the thirty-seventh notice to pay came it was too much for him, and he took the money that should have liquidated it and came out to Deadwood. He soon discovered that the mine was nearly or wholly on paper. He called at the office of the president, and after abusing him some time said:
 'Pve found out that you and your company are frauds. You haven't any mining machinery, and no mine that is worth anything at least. I'd like to ask if your company owns as much as hole?"
 "Oh, yes," replied the president cheerfully, "we do."
 "Pd just like to know where it is. 3
 The president arose, showed his hand part way into one of his panta- looms pockets and said:
 "This is it right here, colonel, the brooches pocket of the president There's where we put all your money, and you'll think it is the deepest hole in the world fyou ever try to get any of it out! Good morning, SIT! have letters here from some more Ohio men, who want to buy stock, and must attend to them before the mail closes"

at the great assize in heaven they would find as excellent tribunal to mete out justice to them.
 But the public sentiment at Kim bley approved the verdict.
 What is the largest diamond ever found at Kimbley?"
 "I had the honor of weighing the largest diamond ever found at the Kimbley diggings. and the largest one in the world so far. It was found on the claim of ltobert Spaulding, an Englishman. Spaulding did not work the claim himself. It was worked by a Frenchman named Antoine Will jams, on shares, who found the dia- mond. I weighed it and placed 8 value upon it.
 "It weighed 2SS carats and was val ued at S60,000!
 "The stone has never been cut yet, nor has it ever been polished but it's value is indisputable, and it has since then changed hands many times. The Frenchman who found it received $15,000 for his share. Spaulding, the owner of the diamond, sold it to J. B. Robinson, a diamond merchant, who carried it to England. The stone was afterward resold, and is now in the French market and is the property of French company"
 "What has been the yield of the Kimbley mines?"
 "For the three years from 1871 to 1874 the aggregate value of the finds at Kimbley were eight million pounds or forty million dollars. Now the yield is from one to two million dol lars per year. There is no diminut tion in the value of the finds; on the con- trary, the deeper the diggers go the more numerous the diamonds, and they improve in quality and luster the greater distance they are from the surface of the earth.
 "The city is full of merchants who are always ready to take diamonds of the miners hands. The prices paid are generally fair, for they are valued by impartial experts who are paid for their work"
 "What becomes of the money of the miners?" queried the reporter.
 "As in all mining communities most of it is spent in dissipation. Kimbley is filled with dram and liquor shops, music halls, thcaters cock-pits, gambling dens, and every conceivable form of dissipation. Min CTS, as you know, are proverbial for their recklessness, and they literally waste their money in these places.'
 "A few send part of their earnings home to wives and families and rela- tions, some buy other claims, and add to their wealth in this manner. Some build good houses, and the city is now fast becoming we'll built, substantial place; but the majority of the miners live rapidly aid quickly spend all they can get"

OUR LEGEND--E PLURIBUS
 UNUM.
BY MAURICE THOMPSON.

The legend set upon our shield Brims with grand meaning: All in one, Hearts welded, souls together run At white heat on the battlefield! One shining way for all to take. One oath, one hope, one purpose grand, One flag for all in all the land, Upheld by all for Freedoms sake. One sign set in the central sky, Read of all men alike, name Written in empyrean flame By the bold hand of destinyl That legend naught could dim or mar; Though bathed in tears and hid in smoke, Forth from the focal storm it broke, A bow above the cloud of war. We read 1t pensively and knew Some element of precious gain Had come to it from wounds and pain, And nightly it's meaning grew. And so we keep upon our shield
 The deathless legend: all in one, Hearts welded, souls together run At white heat on the battle field myriad songs, together thrown
 Across old gulfs of hate, are blent, Like starlight in the Armament, And round the world in triumph blown. Our starry unity of stars Gives man & masterly masterhood, Our law of love engrossed in blood Is sealed with burning buliet.scars!

Dyrenforth 4 Dyrenforth,


This firm, prominent among the patent
attorneys OF Chicago, ILL.,, opened their Of
fees In this city first In October, 1881, at
Ga i street, but upon completion OF the
Pacific building moved their Offices to that
very desirable building on account OF its
close proximity to the Patent Onlce. The
firm at present is represented by Mr.. Philip
G. Dyrenforth and VIM. II. Dyrenforth, IN
Chicago, and by MIR Douglas Dyrenforth at
Washington, who was admitted to the bar
In 1854. They devote their attention to the
procuring OF patents, both foreign and
American, and give their services to those
who require reliable counsel In cases IN In
reference, and have lately presented one
OF the largest cases OF this Kind ever
brought before the Patent Office. The case
referred to Is that OF Neidlnghaus & Neld
lrghaus VS.. IL. Z. Milllgan, assignor to the
Iron Glad Manufacturing Company OF New
York, which involves enameled Iron ware,
and the trade has an interest IN the results
amounting to hundreds OF thousands OF
dollars. The evidence In this case, when
bound In book form, amounts to quite an
extensive library. The firm have the best
facilities for conducting their extensive
business, corps OF competent draughtsmen

and well.equipped offices are in the Pacific
building, G22.4 + street northwest, make a
speciality Of electrical Inventions, and have
been successful in obtaining several valuable
and prominent patents OF this class for their
numerous clients, one OF which may he
mentioned, the Electrical Typewriter,

far distant day, and the Reis Electric Rail-
road, now in operation at Sandusky, Ohio.
Mr.. Harding, the electrical expert OF this
firm, Is fully conversant with every branch
OF electrical science, and being in posses
sion Of a complete library Of the best and
latest publications on this subject, is fully
competent to conduct cases involving a
knowledge OF these subjects.
MIR. Tichenor, skillful exponent Of
mechanics, forms valuable partner in 'le
firm.
The firm is largely benefited by securing
the services OF Mr.. Percy Z. Bowen, au ac'
complished draughtsman, conversant In
electrical matters, and whose work Is so
clear and well executed as to almost appear
to be In relief. They have the best facilities
for foreign patents, and parties contem-
plating Investment as well as inventors can
with confidence address them.

evening for the purpose of taking action in
relation to the mass meeting Of the knights,
which is to be held at Abner's Hall on the

presided, made some remarks on the pro-
posed mass-meeting. Beside the regular
members Of the knights II Is expected that
several outside organizations will attend
the meeting. The purpose of the meeting
is to better the condition Of the clerk. Mr..
Hambleton said that many employers con-
tinued TO keep their stores open far into the
night, thus Interfering with plans OF the
early closing advocates. United action, 1t
is expected, will greatly help to bring all
these late closing employers into the early

Removal OF park Fences.

Colonel Wilson, Superintendent OF Pub
lie Buildings and Grounds, has commenced
removing the iron fence from around the
triangular reservation on the south side OF
the Avenue, between ID and Fourteenth
streets. The fence across the street, in
front Of the National Theatre, will also
soon be removed.
This is good work, which should be
carried further.
Lafayette and Franklin squares are two
notable instances, where vast Improvement
would result from the removal OF the un-
calmly iron fences, which not only give the
parks the appearance Of farm yard or
stocksde, but also form screens for all sorts
Of improper conduct at night.
These fences are necessarily an eyesore.
Unless frequently painted they look rusty
and diDgy, and fresh paint in such places is
serious nuisance.
